Re: [rules-users] Replacing Hand Written Rules

Is there a compelling reason for discarding the system that's in use now?

It would appear that you are emulating the existing system's functions (_psubj, date, equality test) by some mechanism using reflection, which, in itself, will cause some overhead. Then, in the Drools rule, you are using eval(), which is the least efficient way of formulating a condition; none of the optimizations will work this way. This kind of transformation may result in a significant increase of execution time (which, of course, may not hurt you if there isn't much time spent in condition evaluation now.) The eval() call after then looks suspicious: is this a function you have defined?
